Nigel the Magpie
WCC has devised a bold and completely original experiment to ascertain who will the win the World Cup. We have tapped in to the prediction-making powers of an animal!
We offered Nigel the Magpie two lots of food. One with Spain written on the bowl, the other with Holland. But Nigel flew off without showing any interest in either bowl of food. This means the score will remain 0-0 after 90mins and extra-time. With the penalty-shoot out tied at 56 all, both captains will agree that Holland and Spain should share the title of World Cup champions!
Wing-back: the complete story

Altogether now – it’s 2001, and wing-back Ashley Le Sansom has been Everpool Rovers’ star player for several seasons. But football is a changing game, so what does the future hold for Le Sansom under new manager Glenn Keegan…?

The three players waited nervously outside the elder’s dwelling. Fabio Canavarro was called in first and stood in front of the elder. “Fabio Canavarro” stated the elder, “I present you with a rock from a nearby hill. This represents the defensive solidity and durable spirit of the central defender.” Fabio Cannavaro said “Thank you” as he accepted the gift and left the dwelling.
Next to enter was Frank Lampard. “Frank Lampard” stated the elder, “I present you with sand from the nearby desert. This represents the grit and granular omnipresence of the box-to-box midfielder.” Frank Lampard said “Thank you” as he accepted the gift and left the dwelling.
The last to enter was Thierry Henry. “Thierry Henry” stated the elder, “I present you with…”
